Ferguson: What would Superman do?

[kivatt]

Superman and Clark Kent would draw attention to the bigger issue at hand, which is one that effects every black person in America.

Encourage dialogue and defuse violent situations. However, I'd like to think that Superman would no longer (there are eras where he absolutely would be) be an implicit supporter of systematic oppression just because it happens to be the status quo. Ultimately I'd see him siding with protesters and encouraging non-violent change, using his powers only to defuse escalated situations. This is assuming you're talking about the general political climate there (and elsewhere), rather than the specific officer.

Another question this raises is would the crowd accept his efforts to calm riots, or would he be unable to make any bridging efforts because of his color?
